These results support the feasibility of a digital health program for patients with IBD (SK-311 and SK-321) and suggest that treatment completion might have a substantial positive effect on patient-reported stress and energy levels in a real-world setting. These findings are promising and provide initial support for using the Sidekick Health digital health program to supplement standard care for patients with IBD.
